THSW Index

Post by iandrews »

Hi, Just got a PRO 2 Plus, and was setting it up over the weekend, got it all installed, and Cumulus using it ok.

Was going through my web pages seeing what “extra” data I could add re the Solar and UV. Added the 3 graphs to the trends page, and Solar / UV data to the Current, Today & Yesterday pages.

Have a couple of questions though:

1.

I tried to add the THSW Index, but it just showed 0.0 (the THW Index seemed ok when I tried that), the thread here seems to say that Cumulus can read the THW Index ok, but 0.0 is returned for the THSW Index

https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... x&start=15

however, Steve, on you web page you do have an entry for THSW Index under the Temperature and Humidity bits. So is that really just showing the THW Index or does Cumulus now read / calculate the THSW value (I am a “few” versions behind at v1.9.4 (1086)).

2.

Are there any web tags for Monthly / Yearly / All time Solar and UV Max readings.


Also, having upgraded from a Fine Offset I changed some of the settings on the “Station Settings” Screen (apart from setting it to a Pro 2 and setting the Serial port). I un-ticked the “Calculate 10-min wind average”, “Use ‘speed’ for avg calculation”, “Calculate dew point” & “Calculate wind chill” as understand that the PRO 2 station now provides all those. And also un-ticked “Cumulus forecast” so that the Davis one shows in the main Cumulus console screen, and as default on the Current conditions web page.

Does the above seem right is there anything I may have missed.

Cumulus MX reads the value from the LOOP2 packets. Cumulus 1 cannot read the THSW value because of an issue somewhere in Davis code, and it does not have access to the LOOP2 packets.

No. There are enhancement requests for these; it's likely I'll get around to it eventually (in MX).

Yes, that all looks OK.

Thanks (for the very quick) reply Steve.

I did wonder if your THSW value may be down to Cululus MX. I am in the process of upgrading my server, so may ask to go onto the Beta trail, unless you are close to making it public.

Ian.
